Apple tree pruning methods in European countries such as palm leaf shape are no exception. Without these scaffolding facilities, the pruning of this tree is difficult to succeed. Because uniaxially extending branches often bend and droop after fruiting, it is difficult to form a tree shape as required, the branch potential is also difficult to be stable, and the branches are disorderly, so the growth and fruiting of the tree body cannot be carried out normally. New Zealand's "non-"-shaped apple tree pruning method was also completed under the conditions of facilities in the shed.
In the United States and other countries, in addition to scaffolding facilities, thick wire hook benders (painted orange) are often used to open corners and trim branches. Generally smeared in May and pulled out in August, two or three-year-old branches can be bent into a posture of more than 60. In addition to the "N" type branch bender used in domestic production, some branch benders are often used to assist pruning when modeling bonsai fruit trees.
